Questions to Ask Your Therapist Before Starting Counseling

Prepare for your first therapy session by asking the right questions. Empower yourself in starting your mental health journey. Your well-being matters. Before embarking on your therapeutic journey, it’s essential to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the process and feel comfortable with your therapist. Asking the right questions can help you establish a strong foundation for your therapy and build a trusting relationship with your therapist.

You may want to publish your newsletter differently. Here’s why!

Image
I have an idea to share with you today regarding newsletter marketing. Specifically, how to reach a wider spread of your readership. Just think how that could help you increase your sales or client enquiries . It starts with an accidental discovery I made years ago, when switching email marketing providers. People sometimes ask me why I often publish my newsletter on a public holiday or on a Sunday. These are 2 days when far fewer of by readers are likely to be at work or focusing on work. The answer is that I publish when I have something useful to share with you. And I usually write and publish on the same day. That’s it. I then noticed something extremely interesting when I dug into the email software analytics. I discovered that my newsletters tend to get a similar open rate on Sundays and public holidays as they do on a regular week day. However, the mix of readers is very different! Many readers who open 90% or more of my weekday newsletters, seld...

Give yourself a huge competitive advantage… that’s rarely mentioned

Image
Empathy is rarely discussed when people talk about building a successful business. However, empathy is one of the most important components of effective marketing. Think about it. The vendors you feel closest to are those who understand you. The vendors you value the most are those who appreciate you. The vendors you’re most loyal to are those who take the best care of you. And the vendors you tell your friends about are those who eagerly go the extra mile for you. Why does this happen? It happens because business is all about people . More specifically, it’s about how people feel . That’s because our feelings are what drive the decisions we make, and our decisions are what lead to the actions we take.

And they kno...

How to build trust, before a prospect even knows you

Image
Today, I’d like to give you a proven way to build trust from your prospective clients or customers — before they even know you . Here’s how it works. When I share this idea with small business owners, I start by asking them to consider a few questions. Here’s what I ask them. If you publish a newsletter, can your readers rely on you to get each edition out on time? If you use social networks for business, can your contacts or followers rely on you to show up regularly with your ideas? If you publish a podcast, can subscribers rely on you to publish on schedule? If you are a blogger, can people rely on you to publish useful posts at least once a month? Here’s the thing: Content marketing not only allows prospects to discover us and the services or products we provide. It’s also an extremely powerful trust building asset. What this means for you and your business By observing your activities, such as t...

Why didn’t I get the contract?

Image
Thousands of business owners find themselves asking that question every day. They’ve lost out on a big sale, an important contract or massive project and they want to know why. Why didn’t they land it? Why was a competitor chosen instead? There are a multitude of reasons why they didn’t get chosen. Their proposal was very professional. But someone else’s proposal gave 3 recent, checkable examples of exceptionally high quality work. Their presentation was really good. But the CEO’s best friend personally recommended another provider. Their meeting with the prospective client went well. But their marketing caused the prospect to assume the fee would be lower , so the prospect hired someone cheaper. It’s natural for our initial reaction, when we miss out on something, to be externally focused. We tend to look for reasons why another person wasn’t smart enough to see how good we are and hire us or buy from us. That...
